The FlabFighters! - January Challenge - New Year, New You!

Boy am I glad my New Year's Resolution isn't going to be a half-hearted attempt at trying to lose weight! I have the proven power of SW guiding me

Any birthdays in Jan? Mine's at the end, I want to be in the 8s by then...

10st10lbs - 5lbs to lose

Oh, sort of can't wait to get back to normality in January! Hoping to lose about 7lb. Really need 4lb off to get my 2 Stone Award and anything after that is a bonus, so I'll aim high!

i really need to join a team. i started well and its been a hard journey

I really need to give my weight loss journey a HUGE kick up the bum...starting now! I'd like to lose 5lb in January

Rover_gem - 5lbs to lose

Right!!! I'm joining up! I always seem to think about this sort of thing too late so now I'm getting in early. So far I've been doing crap, but I know I can do it so here goes!

I want to lose a whole stone in January, it's taken me forever to get to where I am (or so it seems anyway) and I'm determined to speed it up and get this weight off.
Sign me up for -14lb and if I can go beyond it then all the better!

I'll be 21 on the 19th of January so lets hope I've lost it before then haha!

I'm in, could do with a kick up the butt seeing as it's the new year and all.

Elb4160 I've added you to the list as well.

Us Mancs are always late for these things aren't we? I was the same before I made this group, now I know I'm already in whether I put my name down or not

Whereabouts are you in Manchester? If you want to boost your losses, you could try getting into a Zumba class - I absolutely LOVE it! xxx

Here's hoping 2011 is a good year for you For all of us infact! I was talking to my aunty the other day about losing weight, trying to convince her to start SW (she wants to give SlimFast a go because she likes the shakes) and I told her at the beginning of Jan 2010, I was 11st4lbs. I was notoriously unhappy, and my motivator was my niece, due in Feb 2010. I didn't want to be the chubby aunty, I didn't want to get out of breath playing with her, and I certainly didn't want to not have any pictures with her because of my weight insecurities... So *KICK UP THE BUTT* for Aaliyah! xxx

Haha, I think December was a mega-flop for us all! xxx

Put me down for 5lb. Hoping to lose the xmas gain and a steady 1lb a week seems to be the way I'm going so far. If I can speed that up all the better, but 5lb would be amazing and see me get my 3 stone award

Oooooh, three stone award sounds like a dream! You're past half-way now, does that feel good? xxx

Would like to join your January Challenge If I am not too late. I am ashamed to say that I have put on 7lbs since 9th January and need to get focused. I jumped back on the wagon yesterday.
